Pursuing optimal human connection
is integral to a healthy and balanced life.
I am an experienced therapist who is direct, affirming and effective in helping couples and individuals 'do what works' in and out of the bedroom. This requires facing and dealing with what holds you back, shuts you down, turns you off and intimidates you--because, this will open you up, draw you closer, and bind you together in abundant & authentic love. In our dynamic therapeutic process, you can also learn how to become irresistibly desirable and pursuable (once again)! The lovers' dance is born anew. Free 20-minute Consultation.
I am skilled in treating ineffective relational patterns (e.g., emotional gridlock), extra-marital affairs, sexual & intimacy issues. I help patients face their truth, heal trauma, break cycles of harmful patterns (including co-dependency, abuse, power & control, disorganized thinking, and collusive alliance).
Let the beauty
of what you love
be what you do.
-Rumi
I see people become light & free together.
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it—Rumi
Sexual impasse~
• What is the meaning of sex for me?
• What is the meaning of sex for me, at this time, in this moment (now)?
• What do I need to do in order to make ‘this’ happen?
Embodied Relational Sex Therapy
“Pleasurable good feelings are non-defensive and expansive. We feel energized yet relaxed, open to the possibilities for emotional and physical nourishment through exploration, adventure, and play. Loving intimate relationships are life’s greatest joys. The ability to feel loved and loving toward one another, to trust each other’s support, to thoroughly enjoy each other’s company, to repair misattunements and injuries in a way that strengthens and deepens the relationship, and to share intimate arousal, fulfilling sexual pleasure, are the blessings offered by effective embodied relational sex therapy.”
-Body-to-Body Intimacy: Transformation through Love, Sex and Neurobiology, P. 123 by Stella Resnick
“Laugh at the night, at the day, at the moon, laugh at the twisted streets of the island, laugh at this clumsy boy who loves, but when I open my eyes and close them, when my steps go, when my steps return, deny me bread, air, light, spring, but never your laughter for I would die.”
-Pablo Neruda
People who fare the best in life
are the people who lean in to relationships.
- Robert Waldinger
Love must be sincere.
-Romans 12:9
